Abstract

A pulley unit comprising two inner and outer annular bodies disposed coaxially and a one-way clutch interposed in an annular space between both the annular bodies, both ends in the axial direction of the annular space being sealed by a seal and at least the sealed portion of at least one seal being hidden by an annular member mounted to the inner annular body. By this structure, the sealed portion by the seal is protected from a direct splash of water, so that invasion of water through the sealed portion becomes unlikely to occur.
